Step-by-step explanation:
The Midpoint Formula works exactly the same way. If you need to find the point that is exactly halfway between two given points, just average the x-values and the y-values.
Since the 37 is negative the parabola will open downward.
The coefficient on the outside of the ^2 tells you if it opens up or down. If it's positive it opens upward and if it's negative it opens downward.
For the parabola to open sideways it would be a form of x = y^2
